I miss the freedom. I'm sorry my children did not grow up with the freedom to go out and not worry - about the drugs going down or the people in the park waiting for young ones to hurt. (Yes, I grew up in a small town, and they in a city.) It is a shame that our children/grandchildren can't do things unsupervised/unstructured. I think we learned a lot being responsible for ourselves. I remember being out the door by 6AM, and not coming home 'til Mom called for supper. What grand adventures we had!
